a NOTED WOMAN DEAD.

The author of John Halifax, Gentle
mar" is dead Among the earliest works
of fiction which won cur attention was the
initial novel Of this talented writer. Even
IN the infancy of her genius Miss Muloch
was one of the brightest stars in the galaxy
of fiction. There have been very few
writers who have so delicatelv delineated
human character, or analyzed human mo-
tives with keener insight into the motors
of human action. When in 1857 Dinab
Muloch gave to the world the product of
her genius, John Halifax, Gentleman
she was barely thirty years of age. but her
intellectual maturity had been attained.
and this new novel was the richest pro-
duct of its vigor. Miss Muloch, who in
1865 became Mrs. Craik, was of English
birth, and wrote almost wholly of ENGLISH
scenes and society. She was poetess and
essayist Of no ordinary Character, but her
greatest triumphs were won in the fields
Of fiction. Her genius was one of those
rare manifestations of the bounty of ma
ture In dispensing mental and intellectual
gifts. There was no disorder about her
genius, no contrarities in her methods
her life and work were almost rigid in the
severity of orderly procedure, and reflected
their exactness in the works of her pen.
indeed, she was a remarkable woman in
the breadth of her perceptive faculties. her
marvellous capacity to read character and
to fathom its deepest and most subtle
springs. She lived in an atmosphere of
pure thoughts and clean motives. She
loved virtue, because it was simply impos-
slble for her not to abhor vice, or to make
any compromise with evil. Her magma
ton, vivid, brilliant, never was
to her as to so many intellects-a
source OF unrest. 1t never coniured I'D for
her foul images, or took her cut of the
placid serenity of peaceful, industrious
and pure life. There was not in her char
aeter one quality of oYershadowing power
or force, but there was that rare combina-
ton OF many fine qualities that rendered her
at once just judge of human beings an
observer of the judicial order; define
ator of artistic finish; an ANALYST of deem
penetration; writer with keen sensi-
bility to dramatic effects; novelist with
the spirit OF the poet; a story-teller who
felt what she sought to convey to others

and yet so rigidly just and straightforward
that she could scarce excuse any deviation
from paths of rectitude. Her morality

gentleness so like soothing balm to

A South American rrran.

Rosas, for many Years dictator of the
Argentine States, was capricious tyrant,
who turned the republic into slaughter
shed. He once invited number Of In

nos Ayres. After parading them with
mock honor through the streets of the
city he had them brought under the Dor
etico of the cathedral, where a number of
gibbets stood ready In moment the
chief were seized. bound and run up, and
their bodies were left dangling in the air.

Mrs. STANFoRDs GARDEN PARTY.-Mrs.

garden party to the scholars of her kinder

The lawns of Palo Alto were decorated for
the occasion and the little ones entertained

At II o'clock copious lunch was served,
tables having been specially erected for the
purpose under the cedar trees. About
eighty happy little children sat around the
long tables, at one end of which Mrs. Stan

Cremation at Los Angeles

The crude but effective crematorv al
RoSedale Cemetery reduced another BODY
to ashes Sunday afternoon. The BODY was
that of a thirteep-year- old boy, whose
parents live in Monrovia. The process oc-
cupied about two hours, and, like all other
cremations at this furnace, was neatly and
satisfactorily conducted. Superintendent
Vorwerk attended to the details and quite
number of spectators saw the operation.
All were favorably impressed with crema-
ton as sensible and transformations method
of disposing of the dead, and doubtless
when the novelty of the modern revival of
cremation wears OH, it will become quite
general, and acquire many converts to the
method. President Sinsabaugh, President
of the Cremation Society, is authority for
the statement that neat chapel will soon
be erected over the furnace, and this will
add proper shelter and solemnity to the
consignment of the body to the furnace, as
services will then be held over the remains
the same as now at the open grave. The
body will be lowered into the preparing
vault the same as in ordinary interment
avoiding sights and sounds which would
shock sorrowing relatives and friends. In

THE search for cryptogamic mysteries
does not pause with the labored efforts OF
lgnatius Donnelly, or the cunningly de-
vised solutions of Hugh Black and Edward
Gordon Clark concerning the authorship
OF Shakespeare's plays. A shrewd writer
has just reprinted the celebrated satire
The Poets and Poetry of America" ac-
companied by an argument to prove that
Edgar A. Poe was the author. The "argu-
ment is quite sufficient in itself, since the
evidence of Poe's whims and eccentric
tiles are abundant. But the writer of
the essay has seen fit to supplement it
by plunge into cipher, and from the last
two lines of the satire evolves an anagram.
Now, as Poe was given to anagrams, and
delighted in surrounding himself with
mysteries, 1t is argued that concealment
of his authorship may be nationally ex-
pected in the satire, and where else more
appropriately than in the opening or
closing lines The latter read. "Should
public hate upon my pen react, No matter
this will not aught retract." This
couplet contains all the letters of the
words Edgar Allan Poe From it can also
be formed the title of the satire " Ameri-
can Poets and Poetry: 4 Satire From
the letters of the same words may he
evolved this line, A satire, every word
true Edgar Allan Poe;' or these, "A
true and honest satire, by Edgar Allan
Poe" This deduction concerning the
authorship of the satire has very much
more of reason to fortify it than underlies
the strained effort of either Donnelly or

WE are in receipt from the publishers of
an exhaustive and very lengthy synopsis
of lgnatius Donnelly's book, in which, to
his own satisfaction, at least, he proves
that. Bacon wrote the plays of William
Shakespeare. Mr.. Donnelly and Messrs.
Black and Clark are TOO ardent in their adj
vocacy of the Bacon claims. If thew
prove anything at all, they demonstrate
that out of the condolences of repeated
words and the placing of phrases and
letters, almost any conceivable proposition
can be shown to be concealed in supposed
cipher in the plays, and the epitaph on
Shakespeare's tomb. One ingenious cryp-
togamist has already demonstrated that
out of the epitaph doggerel on which
Black and Clark hinge so much of import
ance, there can be evolved by the system
they employ these significant words. 'sPeek
a-boo Sheba." Now, if this does not prove
that Shakespeare did not write Shake
speare's play, in the name of goodness what
does it prove? So it is with Donnelly's
labored discoveries. By his processes it
can be shown that in the text of the plays
it is stated that Abraham Lincoln dictated
the text of the dramas In fact, there is
no absurdity that may not by Donnellys
method be found hidden" in the text of
the plays. Professor Proctor, in the Forum
has efectually and in brief way, demol-
| ished the whole fabric of Mr. Donnelly's
conjecture, and the world will continue to
believe that Shakespeare wrote Shake
speare's plays.

THAT the Bar Association of San Fran
cisco should have sent to the Grand Jury
of that city communication, offering to
aid the jury in unearthing crime concern
ing jury-hxing and bribery, is a strong in
dorsement of the course of the jury No
class of men more than reputable lawyers
are more interested in preserving the
purity of the bench and the jury panel. If
the Association had acted long ago, much
more might be known of the methods of
Jury-hxers than the public is now likely to
learn. 4 good step for the Bar Associa-
ton to take would be to inquire search
ingly into the moral character and practi-
cal methods of a large number of men
who disgrace that profession by their pc
culiar, not to say disreputable, manner of
doing business as lawyers.

dent of the United States, and Grover

ter lies in his political wardrobe, which he
has left behind him." On the contrary.
Mr.. Cleveland packed his political grip
sack and took it with him when he started
out upon his autumnal swing-around an
electioneering circle. Certainly it cannot
be successfully shown that he is travelling
IN any other than his personal capacity.
As President of the United States. no dutv
OF which we are aware, makes it incum-
bent upon him to indulge in any visitation
Of the States. 1t is not in discharge of any
function of his high Office that he is riding
about the country now. Not that he has
not the right to do so if he chooses. nor
that he has not the right to politically
capitalize such popularity as he can com
mand. But it remains that Mr.. Cleveland
has his political wardrobe with him and is
posing in it to the best advantage he can.

As & general proposition it may be
stated that The labor supply of Utah is
rot greater than the demand, and the
indlcsuons are that in the near future
there will be a demand for certain
classes OF labor that we cannot fill. So
far, however, daring the last year,
a. wiling tn work have been able To
lind employ mem, and there need not
have been an un0ccupied man Ill our
midst There have been weeks when it
was difficult for employers to get sufh-
cient hip, but on the whole the supply
has been about aqaal to the demand.
In few lines of trade, notably plumb
ers and steam filters, skilled labor has
been sent for, and just at present there
afe, besides these, barely enough for
nr"s ent needs of carpenters, masons,
stone cutters and wood working
macninists. Whether this demand
will continue this fall, IcaDnot say. but
there is general feeling that we shall
need, In the spring, more of such skilled
labor than will be at our command.
Farm labor is not over o entiful and in
the season difficult TO secure. Exper-
lenc, cattle ana sheep berders are also
scarce and hard to get a pumber OF
